Welcome!

I’ve been documenting my creative endeavors since 2014. Thoughts on the creative process, my travels, shows, new ideas and what’s on my easel are just a few things I post on. Feel free to linger…

My head is crooked....

Thank God for editing apps….I’m starting to think that my head is crooked because all my photos are sideways. This one still may be but at least I tried…

Today I got a good bit done on a piece celebrating low tide in Traverse City on Lake Michigan. I live on one of two rather large and long peninsulas that make up the Grand Traverse region of the state. Lake Michigan can be found in multiple bays, all of which are (in my opinion) the most beautiful at low tide when the lightness of the waters and her clarity can be fully realized.

I started this two days ago but things are a little busy (read: nuts) around here in preparation of Christmas. I have my folks coming from Maryland and my little brother and his family coming from Atlanta. I can’t wait to see my Egyptian sister in law wrapped up in my husband’s expedition gear again! Poor thing had never been so cold as when they visited last winter.

I’m incredibly excited that there will be snow while they’re here (we’ve already got a few good snows under our belts for the season). There is nothing like the wonder of snow to a small child. It really is magical.

I have a show coming up in Petosky through the Crooked Tree Arts Center and their “Artist' Guild” which I am a member. We will each be contributing three new works for the show. I am busy trying to get some paint slinging done before my company gets here….

Thank you for stopping by on this still and quiet snowy Sunday. One more week til Christmas!!! WOOHOOO!

Snowed In and I’m Painting in the Peace....
